Episode 55
Foresight (2)
A white light that could not be compared to before filled the room.
Even people who were not receiving direct treatment could feel their bodies becoming refreshed due to the indirect effects, so naturally, those receiving direct treatment were noticeably improving.
After a while, the light disappeared.
“Uhm… ”
The lying woman’s eyebrows twitched and a weak moan escaped her mouth. Before she knew it, her complexion was turning red. Her face was so lively that no one would have thought she was a patient.
<Patient. It was definitely cured.>
There was no need to worry any further as Nightingale’s confirmation came. Seo-yoon’s treatment and Jeong-do’s assistance worked perfectly. Serin walked up to her woman’s side and called out to her anxiously.
“miss! Are you out of your mind! “This is Serin.”
Did he hear her earnest voice? The woman in the hospital bed slowly opened her eyes.
“Serin?”
“Well… I’m so glad you’re safe. miss.”
Serin ended up crying.
The woman moved her body and raised her upper body. Her movements were so natural that you wouldn’t think she was someone who was in a coma just a moment ago. She looked around her for a moment and then bowed her head to Seo-yoon.
“Thank you for saving my life. Seoyoon.”
He expressed his gratitude as if he knew of course that she had saved his life. It seemed certain that she could see her future, since she knew her name exactly.
After greeting Seo-yoon, she looked towards Jeong-do this time. Her expression when she looked at Jeong-do was clearly different from when she looked at Seo-yoon.
The expression on Seo-yoon’s face contained nothing but gratitude.
The expression on Jeong Do’s face showed not only gratitude but also joy.
But the moment she showed her emotions was only a moment. She straightened her expression and greeted Do-do.
“Thank you too, Mr. Jeongdo.”
The woman lowers her head while saying that. The woman’s speaking style was somewhat slow, but she seemed more polite because of it. Jeongdo bowed his head shyly and received the greeting.
‘Somehow I finished it safely.’
There was no interference from the elder and the treatment was successfully completed. This is the end of the incident involving Realize. On the Realize side, there would still be issues such as internal conflict and cooperation with the association, but that was not something he would be involved in. Now I have to break up with them… Oh, one thing before that.
“I’m sorry to the person who just woke up from the hospital, but can I ask you one thing?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I feel more refreshed now than usual. “Don’t worry, just ask anything.”
It didn’t seem like a lie. Perhaps the combination of All Recovery and Nightingale was better than expected. The degree slightly lowered her head and asked her.
“You said that the invasion of this world will begin in earnest in the near future. Can you give me some specific information? It’s the time when it starts. “What is the progress?”
“Yes. “That’s where it all started.”
After saying that, she looked at Serin.
“Serin. “Can you please bring me my cell phone?”
“four. Miss, please wait a moment.”
After saying that, Serin left the room.
cell phone? Could it be that he wrote down the future he saw on his cell phone? It was a commonly used method when recording information, but when a person wearing hanbok and living in a hanok village said that, I felt a sense of disconnect. Of course, it’s my own bias…
After a while, Serin arrived and handed me a cell phone. She manipulated her cell phone for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“This much time has passed since I fell. You asked about the time of the full-scale invasion, right? The remaining time is… ”
I was a little frustrated by her slow tone, but I didn’t show it and waited.
oh? Is there really 50 days left? No, no. You said you had to hurry up and hold a meeting right away, so what?! If so, it was a big deal. I have to make urgent plans for the remaining time…
But the next words that came out of her mouth far exceeded Jeongdo’s expectations.
“buy… three… this… Day. ah. done.”
“… yes?”
What is it? The moment you are about to spit out the words.
Tiring!
<The dungeon map has found a new dungeon! >
<The dungeon map has discovered a new dungeon!>
A dungeon map notification rang. And twice in a row.
“… … .”
It was the moment when monsters from another world invaded Earth in earnest.
* * * * * *
Jeong-do was currently resting in the guest room of Realize’s main house.
Originally, I had planned to return home, but my benefactor persistently tried to stop me, saying that I couldn’t let him go like this, so I had no choice but to stay the night. In fact, Seoyoon was quite tired from the treatment earlier, so it wasn’t a bad idea to stay overnight.
Contrary to the belief that there would be nothing but blankets in a traditional Korean house, the guest room was literally a space for guests. There were many convenience facilities that cannot be found in traditional hanoks. After washing up enough, I turned on the TV in my room.
“There’s an uproar.”
As Jeong-do muttered, the world went into chaos. Almost all channels were broadcasting news. The reporter’s urgent words were transmitted through a cathode ray tube.
[Currently, numerous dungeons have suddenly appeared simultaneously! This is a global phenomenon, and no clear cause has yet been found. We invited a professor who is famous as an authority on dungeon studies in Korea. Professor, some are even saying that this is a sign of the destruction of the Earth. What do you think?]
[This is nonsense. Of course, I understand your anxiety over the sudden increase in dungeons. However, this cannot necessarily be defined as a bad phenomenon. Humanity has accumulated a lot of experience over the years and developed a system to manage dungeons efficiently. Rather, there is a revival due to the many by-products coming out of the dungeon… ]
“Damn.”
Jeongdo changed the channel, cursing the professor’s nonsense, but a similar expert was on another channel talking about similar nonsense. In the end, I ended up turning off the TV.
‘Is this reality?’
The current era does not consider dungeons to be a threat to humanity.
On the contrary, there was a strong perception that it was a treasure given to mankind.
Mana stones and various treasures brought by dungeons. However, since it was an inexhaustible treasure trove of resources that were constantly being created, one would think that the creation of dungeons was a good thing.
Perhaps the association is the only one troubled by this. The guild probably just sees the dungeon as a good place to make money.
As the era of peace became longer, humanity soon forgot about the disaster that occurred in the early days of the dungeon. And history has already proven what happens if you forget the past and only think about the present.
There will definitely be a big accident. I was certain to that extent.
‘In times like these, we need to strengthen our internal stability.’

The world has changed rapidly, but the work that must be done remains the same. Refine yourself so that you will not be swayed no matter what happens. All you have to do is continue to grow yourself and your team like you are doing now.
“Then let’s do our job.”
The time is 10 PM.
Jeongdo loaded the wire to end the day.
<Thank you for calling me, Confucius. Oh this place… The atmosphere somehow reminds me of my hometown.>
“is that so?”
There must be quite a difference between the style of Hanok and the style of the ancient Three Kingdoms period, right? Well, it was definitely closer than a Western-style building. Yoo Seon said with satisfaction.
<Somehow, I feel more stable than usual. I think I’ll have more luck today.>
“Please take care of me today as well.”
Jeongdo prepared to draw. However, I tried to conduct the lottery in a slightly different way than usual. Normally, I would mainly focus on <Location Draw> to increase my abilities.
‘Today, I’m going to go to <Information Draw> as the main topic.’
There are two main reasons.
<Game-lv.3> was not the only draw that was updated to <Game-lv.3>. Of course, the black business card had such a strong impact that it was buried, but <Information Draw> was also updated.
Past information and future information.
You can now select two and proceed with the draw. Jeongdo executed <Information Gathering>.
Tiring!
Two options appeared along with the notification window.
<Future Information Draw>
<Gather past information>
It was very intuitive and simple. Jeongdo chose <Future Information Draw> without hesitation.
This is another reason why <Information Draw> is being held as the main event today.
As the invasion of monsters from another world had begun in earnest a while ago, I was wondering if I might be able to get some information about it.
After acquiring the <Relationship Draw> skill, <Information Draw> was only performed when mana was less than 10. Because she thought strengthening herself was more important than information. And that thought has not changed even now. Perhaps, if the world hadn’t changed, we would have conducted the <Location Draw> today as well.
‘It’s kind of like the feeling I had when I first got the skill.’
How could I forget the day I first received diamond information? To some extent, my heart fluttered for no reason.
And I wonder if he knows the skill to get that kind of feeling.
I ended up throwing it away from the first <information draw>.
“… … .”
Very red capsule.
Blood capsule.
Crisis information has appeared.
‘The last crisis information was to save team leader Seo Sang-hee.’
Jeongdo just nodded when he saw the red capsule. Actually, it seemed like it would pop. No, I would have thought it was even more strange if crisis information had not been displayed during the invasion of monsters from another world.
Jeongdo stared at the capsule. Soon, as the effect of the capsule breaking was produced, a line of information came to mind.
<Defeat the monster Detarteron.>
“… “Is it a subjugation quest this time?”
After the rescue quest, it’s a subjugation quest. There are so many different things. Jeongdo touched the notification window to check detailed information.
“… ok?”
However, there was no further information. There was no information about what type of monster Detarteron was, where it appeared, or even a time limit for how to solve it.
Just because there is no time limit doesn’t mean it’s urgent. But how can you catch monsters if you don’t even know where they appear? In fact, I thought that the monster called Ditarteron might be a very famous monster, so I searched it with Mana Watch, but I couldn’t find any information about it.
“hmm… ”
Still, one thing that can be guessed piecemeal is that since it is a monster you have never heard of before, there is a high probability that it will appear in a dungeon you have never seen before. It was definitely related to the newly appeared dungeon.
‘There’s no time limit, so there’s no need to rush.’
After coming to that conclusion, I put all the remaining mana into the lottery machine and went to bed.
And the next morning.
Less than half a day had passed since the dungeon appeared on a large scale, but the world had been turned upside down once again.
Over the past two years, the survival rate of users who entered the dungeon has approached 90 percent.
Professionally trained users. And the strategy is to insert users with specifications that exceed the level assigned to the dungeon. There is even a dungeon closing system that allows you to forcibly close dungeons that seem difficult in the first place without challenging them. It was a high number achieved by all of these coming together.
But that high survival rate was shattered last night.
In many places around the world, new dungeons were conquered in the same way as before.
And the result.
Survival rate 30 percent.
It was a terrible number that could only be seen in the early days of the cataclysm. Even in the guild that came out after clearing the dungeon, it was difficult to find anyone with intact limbs. Each country was put on alert due to this enormous situation. I then asked the survivors who cleared the dungeon what happened and their answers were all the same.
‘The monsters in the dungeon are intelligent.’
‘The monster in the dungeon used a strategy.’
‘They dug a trap and were waiting for us.’
The world was thrown into chaos by this unprecedented situation.
This is how the Earth faced the second cataclysm.
